[rancid] Re: lrancid / llogin

[Ron Whitney]

Thanks for the reply.  I agree, it doesn't like the prompt.  The Linux host in question is a RedHat box.  The prompts given are as follows:

groucho 16:18:46 rwhitney >			(Regular user)
groucho 16:17:08 SU >				(root user)

(The machine running RANCID is Fedora which has a "[rancid at harpo bin]$ " prompt.)

As a test, I made some very crude changes to llogin and got past the prompt issue.  However, I'm now receiving the following:

[rancid at harpo bin]$ lrancid -d groucho
executing llogin -t 90 -c"BackupFiles" groucho
bad option "-nocase": must be -exact, -glob, -regexp, or --
    while executing
"switch -glob -nocase [subst -nocommands [lindex $commands $i]] {
         backupfiles {
           set files [find backupfile $host]
           if { [info exists f..."
    (procedure "run_commands" line 26)
    invoked from within
"run_commands $router $prompt $command"
    ("foreach" body line 151)
    invoked from within
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
    set router [string tolower $router]
    # attempt at platform switching.
    set platform ""
    send_user ..."
    (file "/usr/local/rancid/bin/llogin" line 789)
groucho: missed cmd(s): BackupFiles
groucho: missed cmd(s): BackupFiles
groucho: End of run not found
groucho: End of run not found
#

I suspect I'm running into differences between flavors of linux (Mine are mostly RedHat or Fedora based) which is breaking llogin.  Everything else (users, permissions, etc.) check out.  Since my ability to code is non-existent, I think I'll abandon this up for now.  Thanks for trying to assist.

Ron
